Frequent assemblies gave students breaks from the rou- tine and gave administrators time to evaluate the amount of freedom most students could handle. Those students who did not behave in an acceptable man- ner did not attend other as- semblies, according to McCallie. McCallie and the assistant principals visited all the sec- ond hour classes early in the year because it was easier to ask students to act within the rules we deemed necessary in small groups than to tell them in large groups, said Assis- tant Principal Rick Burns. Administrators wanted to let students know that they were meeting each pupil on his own level, explained McCallie. I felt the principals took an interest in me, commented Dianna Durre, sophomore.

lljnnl mms' ' f- -42 5 N...! if WW ED TRAVIS, Principal Franklin McCallie and Robert Wagner discuss problems about the installation of the new stadium lights. PUBLICITY AND FUNDS concern Robert Wagner, PBI president, and Bill Jaeger, se- nior, at a July 12 football lights committee meeting. NEW STADIUM LIGHTS spark Marlermen Matt Joyce, Kevin Simmons and Mark McCIanahan in the huddle before the first evening home game. TUVQINI CDN TFIHIE FPIIQINIEEIIRS Installation of football lights change a dream into reality Reaching out, Dane Marti, sophomore, pulled the levers. Switches flipped forward. Electricity raced through un- derground cables, then whirled up sky reaching poles. Gradually, the blackened globes came to life and filled the dark stadium with bright showering rays. This action occurred Oct. 5, the first night home game of the season. Upon the turning on of the lights, Pioneer Booster's dream became a reality. In mid-June, Pioneer Booster's held a meeting at Kirkwood United Church of Christ for students interested in soliciting local businesses for money to finance the lights. Tax-deductible contri- butions helped pay the 335,000 to cover the lights and installation. Becky Apperson and B ll Jaeger, seniors, headed the student committee for solic- iting the area's businesses. PBI wanted the students to solicit businesses for the lights and form a committee. Getting it organized was hard over the summer, because many of the kids had daytime jobs or were on vacation, said Apperson, but it proved to be well worth it in the end. Lights - - 7
